the big one

so i had to go back to court today. not so much fun. however, my complete inability to take life seriously (except when i want to, and standing in a courthouse is not one of those times) led me to find a few different things kinda funny in the courtroom.

one thing i tend to do is, when things get really serious, i like to think of ways to totally break up the mood. like, when i was getting yelled at once in band in high school, i remembered i had a little applesauce thing in my backpack and wondered what would happen if i just took it out of my backpack and threw it at my teacher. no explanation, no real reason... just... what would happen? would he have jumped at me and tackled me? just sat there and taken it like a man? today i was sitting in court, and the judge was telling me something about responsibility or something (definately wasn't paying much attention) and i was thinking what would happen if i farted really loud. is that ok to do in the court? do i need to ask permission of the judge? would it go on the record? a whole slew of questions ran through my mind, and i thought just for a second that i should do it. just to mix things up. but then i remembered that "just doing it, just to mix things up" was the reason i was in there in the first place. then another time he was telling me about how i had a lot of potential and i really wanted to say. "yes, and so does a rock on top of a hill. so what." but didn't. probably best. that's about it. court sucks, paying a lawyer sucks, but napping is awesome and so are sandwiches. THE END.
